You may be right. I've got a "9.1 gig" SCSI drive that actually reports itself as 8.48 gig. OS 10.1.5 is installed on this drive. I've got 10.2 installed on a 10 gig IDE drive. It's partitioned into 7.5 and 2.5 gig partitions. OS 10.2 is on the 7.5 partition. I tried to install a 10.2 "test" partition on the 2.5, but it told me that the partition was beyond the first 8 gig and was unuseable. I've always wondered why the SCSI drive didn't need to be partitioned. Perhaps it *is* just IDE drives! Thanks for the heads up!
